Apart from that as "superstition" because I'm sure a "Wise Guy" horse occasionally wins (I can't remember the last Triple Crown race where it did though) I always thought that Hofburg was crazy low odds. He should be 5 or 6 at the lowest, and probably 6 to 8 like Vino Rosso. Rosso has more wins and has the rest too, it is just odd for that gut feeling must be going for with Mott here, or the breeding; I can't explain it otherwise.
That Derby gallop-out (no one passed Justify on the gallop-out in the Preakness).... Mott's home track..... Tapit last 3-of-4..... Actually a 2nd start off the layoff....

I'd like to see him win, but I still can't believe the odds are hovering around 4-1
Add to pluses: Hofburg is not void on the stamina wing (DP = 6-11-16-1-0, DI = 2.78, CD = 0.65), and indeed has the preferred "Classic shape" Dosage Profile.
